He also thinks a tweak to the power surge should be spoken about, after Stars lost their ability to use the fielding restriction tactic when their target was adjusted.
Stars had to initially chase 115 off 10 overs, after Hobart made 114 for 5 in their rain-reduced 10-over innings.
But that was changed to a victory target of 85 from seven overs after further rain forced play to stop just two overs into the chase.
Batting at No.5, master blaster Maxwell, who has struggled for runs this tournament, faced just four deliveries in the chase and finished unbeaten on 9. He did not face a ball in the final over.
“We sent out two lads who have played really well … to send them out for the two overs of powerplay made complete sense,” he said post-match.
“Joe Clarke is an opener as well. We lost an early one in Tommy and [sent out] Joe and then obviously the rain came.
“Marcus [Stoinis] was next and Maxi [Maxwell] after that. You’re making decisions as the game evolves. I think we made the right calls.”
Hurricanes were able to call a power surge for one over in their innings, but Stars lost theirs after the DLS adjustment.
“It makes a difference in a short game,” Moores said, pointing to English competitions where fielding restrictions in rain-reduced games are calculated as a percentage and can sometimes be a portion of an over.
“It seems to make sense. It’s quite simple to do.
“We’ve done that over in England for a bit. Maybe it’s something [to look at], but we play to the rules of each competition and we’ve got no complaints about it.”
It was a brutal end to the season for Stars, who are the only franchise without a BBL title.
They would have locked up top spot on the ladder and a home final if they’d beaten Perth Scorchers in their final regular season game.
“We’ll look back on a tournament where a lot of people played well. The frustration is that I think we were playing well enough to win it,” Moores said.
“If it didn’t hurt you, you wouldn’t be human in some way. We’ll take it on the chin and we’ll move on.”
